Film project two comes together when it gets cut

My Second film project will be a compilation of two rolls of 16 mm film on one roll I have observed my Mother painting a rose and also caught some of the mess on the kitchen table. On the second roll I have observed my brother painting as well as moving around his home and going into a shed where he has many paintings lining the walls.

I will most likely use the images of the collection of paintings in the shed to begin the film and inter-cut my Mother’s careful observation and painting of a rose with my Brother’s wandering about and abstract and rapid painting style. I will serve to find meaning making in how I contrast their painting approaches and also how I might find similarities. Essentially I will observe the rolls and then make decisions about how to cut and integrate the two painters in the editing room.
